I need some advice on how to configure Odoo 8.0 for automatic backup.

From what I’m reading online, it appears that this version of Odoo now needs both a pg_dump backup and a filestore backup (and the Manage Databases option in the log in dialog automatically puts both in a .dump file).

How can I automate this and schedule it to happen once or twice a day? The script examples I’m seeing online appear to only deal with the pg_dump part of the backup – not the filestore portion.

Another possibility I have noticed would be to implement this change http://anybox.fr/blog/postgresql-large-object-storage-for-odoo so that the large objects just get stored in the pg database and I can then just use the pg_dump scripts method without worrying about a separate filestore.

Please do, Pascal - i would really appreciate it. I'm surprise that Odoo doesn't have automatic backup builtin consider how important it is....

I will publish my scripts in an other post. Did you try http://24.226.196.31:8069/web/database/manager ??? You can backup there. But it is not automatic.

You can use Barman (http://www.pgbarman.org/) to provide continuous backup with PITR capability.  For filestore you could use rsync.

I would not recommed putting binary objects in the database.  It makes backups much larger, recover to take longer, and negatively affect DB performance.

Hi George, i am new to servers in general and how much more so to odoo. when you say filestore use rsync, how do i do that? where are the files located? where is the database located? I have a freenas on my network that i want to use to backup the databse and filestore!

Hi Benjamin, Check your configuration file (https://goo.gl/s2iBvS) to see if the 'data_dir' directive is set. If so, this will be the root of where your files are stored. Otherwise, on linux it will be in your home directory under '.local'. There is a directory for each database and within each will be a 'filestore' directory The attachments are stored there. For the database, you can run 'pg_config' or 'pg_conftool show all' to get a good picture of your PostgreSQL installation. Here are some links for you: Barman: http://www.pgbarman.org/ Duply (uses rsync): https://goo.gl/gO3VLi Filestore info: https://goo.gl/2ydDm4
